Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungus causing life-threatening infections in immunocompromised hosts. Melanin production is a major virulence factor of this fungus and the initial steps of dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA)-melanin biosynthesis pathways are catalyzed by laccase. To understand phylogenetic relationships among serotypes of three varieties, partial sequences (about 600 bases) of the laccase gene (CNLAC1)...
